Yes, thank you for the tip. I will check if there is any leak, if not then I will need to check the coolant level more frequently thenCoolant level should not decreased as cooling system is sealed type.However,minor decrease is acceptable.
If the decrease is noticeable then the coolant quite possibly are escaping.Without any trace of leak,it could be escaping as vapor from the radiator cap.
If u had recently do the repair u mentioned then u might need top up after a week or so.
Common leak for campro is at the bottom radiator hose.
last thing...Radiator fan also okay, change to new one at SC last year (this is their solution for the heating problem). Even so it is normal, for coolant is it normal it will be decreasing maybe due to evaporation? or something that I dont know?
1.change thermostat - not necessary, just remove it, dump it in hot water, the valve should openApparently i have the same problem with my Proton Persona recently and my mechanic ask me to do the following
1. change Thermostat
2. change Radiator to a new one (previous rad got rust so he advice to change to new one)
3. change water pump because the blade also rusty
But after doing all of the above and using Toyota red coolant, after quite a long journey from Senawang to Ampang. The radiator fan keep spinning more than 5 minutes. Is it normal behaviors?
Is there anything I need to check or it just that I drove in a very hot weather?
Thank you
Hi Danz,1.change thermostat - not necessary, just remove it, dump it in hot water, the valve should open
2. no need to change, able to be repaired, quote for my beemer is rm300 radiator repair + cleaning + installation, if for persona should be cheaper
3.if u gonna change or repair the radiator, better change the water pump as well.
Water temp in the morning is at 1/4, still monitoring though these past 1-2 days seems okay means the fan will stop after ignition is switch off.5 mins is a long time, I know my neighbour's Exora Turbo fan spins after the ignition is switched off but I don't think its 5 mins, maybe around 2-3 mins.
my bimmer's fan spins about 5-10 secs during a hot day, 3-5 secs at night, sometimes does not spin at all.
how is your water temperature? should be 1/4 during the night.
How to check this?sticky radiator fan relay or ecu (if water temp acutally still normal)
